Lindros Decision Today

Published: June 30, 1992

The National Hockey League said yesterday that a ruling on the Eric Lindros controversy by arbitrator Larry Bertuzzi is due today.

Bertuzzi must decide whether Lindros belongs to the Rangers or to the Philadelphia Flyers, who claim their handshake deal with the Nordiques preceded any deal between Quebec officials and the Rangers.

The Rangers are believed to have offered the Nordiques a combination of up to three first-round draft picks and $20 million, plus Aleksei Kovalev, Tony Amonte, Doug Weight, John Vanbiesbrouck and possibly James Patrick for Lindros and John Tanner, a goaltender.
